DT TRR-DIRD OD TO DR lIALL. 4 '
'ltlytiterious knockings!—Some facts I.wlll mention,
, And hope that no &sotto the matter will scout;
pooh Wave are occurring, in manner too stubborn,
To leave room for even the ghost of a doubt.
A thee:lff was Standing; a Writ in his fingers,
And lustily ponnding away at a door,
But spirits within had Secreted tho'bodies t At
Response to hie raps he did vainly Implore. ,
l'There see nothing so strange in.his' manner of knock
' The noise of the rape showed the aeal of his heart—
The Mystery lay in the rogue at the window, -
Who laughed as he sae the poor sheriff depart.
A merchant wu buy—his books he wee posting—
' The cash was deficient,'and dark was his brow;
He'd studied and pondered It over,
.
The lubre wu missing, he could not tell how.
• '
Be had a neurafelesman, with him was the secret—.
• A fellow, brought up in a back country toWn—
He learned in a week that mysterious knocking,
, Mysterious, truly—that's called knocking down!"
A stronger:wee walkfttg . dite night in the city ;
Around him was Mlence—no loafer was nigh—
But as inhis - walk he wee turning a corner,
Be got a mysteribits knock in the eye.
. The itrsurgor belie:red in , r manifestations,"
And thought that a question he then would propose ;
gay how sonny are ,
there? ''Twas answeed by knock
ings—
A couple et ribrnieers” that fe.l on hie nose.
The stentsgei lay bleeding; the Spirits proceeded
To AO Is pockets- - -it truly was shocking—
And one of theda.cried: when his pocket-book seising, -
'Oa! here es she charm of mysterious knocking.
The sly politicians-.rewarded An:plotting
- Who long at the Government crib have been fed,
Are mystified oft by mysterious knockings,

Though many the knockings, in mystery shrouded,
'I hat startle the skeptic , —awaking his wonder—
This knokking is plain—that the dealers in clothing,

The troth that his clothing is beat and the cheapest,

,And that Is the best of mysterious knockings,

SATURDAY; JI7LY 24, 1868.
A MODERN BAYARD.
The moat remarkable family of the past gen
eration, in England, were the WELLEstsv s. Of
the presenfday the - Nsmstes take• the lead.
The Countess of Monemarox saw her eldest
son advanced from an Irish Earldom to a
British Marquisato ; another son, the foremost
man of the whole Empire, successively fight
ing his way from a simple subaltern's rank,
Ahrough every grade of honor, into a Dukedom,
and two other sons also rising into the peer
age of England.
So with the NAPIER family. The peer of
that name, able and popular, is Ambassador
at Washington—bis only fault being an almost
unpardonable neglect of duty in not giving
his employers, the British Ministry, the
earliest intimation touching the " right of
search" difficulty. Another NAPIER is Sir
CHARLES, the brave and eccentric Admiral,
who is now M. P. for the borough. Another
Is Sir WILLIAM NAPIER, the historian of the
Peeing* War.',. A fourth is now' Lord
."/lesidel, these, .two
More could be counted, not many yeare ago—
Sir Gmones Nimes, a gallant soldier, and the
celebrated Sir CnAnsze JAMES Ns.rtza, the
Conqueror of Scinde : death has stricken
tin* off' the list. Here is a round half -dozen
of N.srunts, more or less distinguished ; some
of them related; all of' them connected--as
emanating from the Mtaterustor branch of
the family, ono of which figures as the inven
tor of logarithms.
Some weeks ago, we noticed that a posthu
mous romance, by the late Sir CuAntats JAmas
NAPIER, with English HAmotn, and Norman
WILLIAM for its heroes, was about being pub
lished, and that it was uncharitably presumed
that ROLWER'S 'historthal novel, Harold,"
was somewhat plagiarized. The book has
been since published. It certainly @bows
ability,'and is vigorously written; the, charm.-
',ter of War t like the Conqueror being strongly,
drawn, but BuLlszn need not look to hie
reds on account of it. Still, no the work of a
'remarkable man, this romance will be. read
with curiosity. We are surprised that it has
not been republished here ere this.
The late Sir CHARM; JAMES NAPIER was
no common man. Amid the almost endless
and exhausting labors of very arduous military
and civil service, be continued, even from the
'very commencement of his career, to journal
ize his life. Tear after year, his well-written
anct4( beaped-up " diaries, were carefully put
by. At the time of his death, in 1858, there
were ffity-five of these manuscript volumes,
which he was fond of referring to, when, in
the course of conversation, ,a discussion
arose, concerning any subject or person with
which or with whom he had, been concerned.
There; in a beautiful, clear handwriting, were
the graphic details of what thispreux chevalier
had seen, and done, and thought, during over
half a century of active and honorable action.
There wore his,impressions, vividly expressed
in language at once forcible and elegant, of
great men, his contemporaries, whom he bad
seen, known, mingled in society with, or been
opposed to in the field, the cabinet, the coen.
cil.chafnber., There he recorded 'his secret
thoughts—there he poured forth his high as.
'piratiOn:3=there he spoke his mind concerning
the pettifogging politicians of, his-day, who
wouldfain have curbed, for they lacked need
to underitand and appreciate, the grand range
of action which - his energy and genius would
have bodied forth—there, more particularly,
hit, is, believed (known, indeed,) to have re-.
corded the fuli_contempt which ho entertained
for "the nem/ of Directors of' the Honorable
Eist India Coinpaliy;"wloile"ptvpersy tiler
valor and 'sagacity had saved from ruin and
annihilation; as well as of their representative
in India, Lord DsLuonsm, about the smallest
minded man, with the exeeption of Lord CAN
SING, ever entrusted with .the responsible
government of a colony, so vast in extent,
riches, and population as to be almost an em
pire of itself.
These journals, which many persons have
looked into—for the veteran was sinSularly
open in his communications, and generally,
when be spoke of an event or person, would
und'tho dialogue by saying, "But here's toy
Diary, explaining how the matter really took
place;"—these journals it bed become the
general labor of NAPIEMI later years to con
dense, and having obtained from big brothers
and intimate friends a great number of his
confidential letters, ho used these, also, in the
construction of an • autobiography which,
though kept hack, at present, from a dread of
its truth offending living statesmen and sol
diers, possesses wonderful interest.
For this NAPIER—one of a family which
thave won honors whenever and wherever ap
pointed to do any thing, this man was ono of
the meet remarkable personages of his time.
Scotch by descent, With a dash of the Celtic
and Anglo-Saxon in his veins, CHARLES JAMES
NAPIER was born in Ireland, and commenced
his military career in that country at an early
ago, during the bloody horrors of the Rebel
lion of 1798. Ten years later commenced the
Peninsular War, and NAsten had the good
fortune to be among the foremost who won dis
tinction 'in that contest. During the retreat
of Corunna, young NAPIER fought like a Pa
ladin, and was so dreadfully cut and hacked in
the final engagement where Sir JOHN MOORE
was killed, that a report of his death was
received and believed by the regiment (the
50th—" the dirty half hundred " of Harry
Lorrequer and Charles O'Malley,) whom
he had led 'into action. Five severe
wounds placed him hors de combat, and
he became the prisoner of Marshal NET—
"the bravest of the brave," by whom he was
treated most kindly, and instead of being de
tained in prison in France, permitted to return
on parole to England, where he found his
mother in mourning for him. The two years
following, while recovering his bodily health,
he' devoted, to study, and - filled up the weary
hours of 'nutlet: , , by writing several works,
(some of them eventually were published,) on
the state of Ireland, colonization, engineering,
and military law. When health was some
what restored, B'srfEn. joined WELLINGTON in
Spain, as a volunteer, but did not reach France
until three days after "bloody and most boot
less Waterloo." Ho accompanied the Eng
lish army to Paris.
In the distribution of honors on the final
fall of NArenzetv, the gallantry of Herten was
remembered and rewarded. He was made a
Knight of the Bath, the same' title borne by
WELLINGTON when he assumed command, in
Spain, and was promoted to the military
governorship of Cephalonia, Which ho hold for
several years.
In 1841, being then a general officer, Sir
CHARLES N/LPiEk was appointed to the com
mand of the Bombay army, and there com
mencod what may be caked his proper indi
viduality. He found the young officers gene
rally idle, luxurious, intemperate, presumptu
ous, inattentive to discipline, extravagant, and
apt to run into debt without adequate means
of payment. Under such officers the disci
pline of the army; British as well as native,
was in the worst possible state ; and the condi.
tion of the privates and non-commissioned
officers wretched in the extreme. Simple
in his own tastes and, habits, Sir CHAILLEfi
NAPINa put down extravagance, luxury,
and debt, with a strong hand. Re applied
himself to the reform of the officers under his
command, and in a manner compelled them to
discontinue their idle, and worse than idle
habits, and to take proper pains to become
good soldiers. Above all; he took care, by
all the reedits in his i)owor, that the condition
of the, rank and file of the army should be im
proved be raised the private seldier in India
to the rank of manfor, before that, his treat
ment was Worse than that which the beasts of

Before he had done the whole army were de
lighted with what he had accomplished for the
improvement of its morale. Nor was this
popularity (so hardly won in despite of ridi
cule, reprehension, and dislike) eventually
confined' to the • Presidency of •Bombay, in
which his command lay. The•eaample been

sands.
In England, the accounts of NAPIER'S do.
ings wore received at the Horse Guards and
the India House with something not remote
from terror.. Such a novelty as a reformer in
India—and that reformer in office, too—was
w most intolerable and not to be endured."
The Government, as well as the East India
Directors, know not what to do. After all,
willingly as they would have recalled NAPIER,
there was no ostensible pretext for doing it.
No one could deny that & principal duty of a
commander waste raise the character' of the
officers, to improve the "discipline, and aug
ment the comforts of the army.' NAPIER had
done this, though. his way of doing it, his
contempt of .conventionalities, his habit of
calling things 'by their right natnetrorgro:at
variance with all the Indian -precedent,,'- : ,How
ever, it wail determined to,recall hiin, 11 any
plausible pretext could be found or made.
Just .then, fully aware of the impending
storm, and personitlir 'careless of ' the `Cense.
quences,'• Lord ELLettIMILOUOU became - Go
vernor General of India. Bold, ambitions,
decisive, and vain, this nobleman resolved to
put down, with a strong hand, the predatory
forces which the Affghart chiefs were con
stantly loaffing into the Anglo-Indian territo
ry; to the destruction of life and property.
Calling on Nei= for aid, he received from
him the plan of a campaign in Affghanistan
so clear and simple that he instantly confided
the carrying out in military action to its gal
lant author,* At that time NAAR& had only
2,000 soldiers availithle tor service: Rapidly
marching them into Affgbanistan, he placed
them, at Mooanee, against 30,000 of the bra.
vest native troops in India. The result was a
brilliant victory.
.Reinforded, soon after, so
that his army numbered 6,000, he conquered
the whole territory of ,Scinde—ending the
campaign with a pitched battle at Ityderabad,
in whiCh he defeated Sinn& hanortan and
25,000 men.
Appointed Governor of 'Scindo, (which was
duly annexed" to British India,) Sir thus.
NAPIER displayed great administrative power
in this now capacity. He put - down the robber
hordes; abolished sutlershlp, surveyed the
country, constructed roads, revised tho laws,
'lntroduced education, and, while doing this,
had to, defend his measures in detail against
the ruling authorities in India and 'England.
'At last, completing and confirming his con
quest, by the battles of Ferozahah and •So
braon, ho returned to England in 1847, where
his receptionwas triumphant.
During this conquest of Scinde, an innova
tion much noticed, and sometimes even con
demned at the time, was Sir Cuanixs
NAPIER'M 'malting mention by name, in his
dispatches,' of private soldiers who bad per
formed gallant deeds in battle. No British
general, from Ment.nonevan down to Wzr,-
tasurro'n, had done "this. Every, comman
der •until Minna, had adopted Falstaff's
definition that the rapk and file of an army
were 14? be considered simply as "food for
powder." Narita recognised, treated; and
honored them as men; his colleagues in con
quest. Was it surprising that be should have
won a popularity among the men under his'
-command, inferior only to that obtained by
Narotorou ? As for liVxmaxaroo, he never
was popular with his !Tipton, though they
had the greatest reliance upon his powers and
resources as 'a commander.
NArgini 000klattod Iwo _SORTS in Ebgland,
and his popularity did not abate. — Tue - pub
lic delighted to see lipe veteran, who was
almost alivays accompanied by his wife, whom
he very tenderly loved, Iv - silting about London.
The most unobtrusive manner, above the
ordinary stature, slight in figure, with a stoop,
sharp-featured, with a beak like a bird, and
, bearded like a pard," he was constantly to
be soon in and about London. He thought,
as did the world, that his labors had ended.
But the Sikhs defeated by SALE in 1842,
and by Gomm in 1846, again appeared in arms
in 1849. Common consent assumed and re
solved that NAPIER was the only man for the
crisis. He was applied to, and replied that,
at his advanced age, (he was in his sixty-ninth
year,) with his health broken by climate and
warthre, and with his wife suffering under pro
tracted ill-health, he was not desirous of re
turning to India, particularly as his companions
in arms were as able to command as he was.
The plain truth was this: The people of Eng
land, and the army whom be had led to con
quest, had full confidence in him; but the
civil authorities in India, from the Governor-
General down to the youngest u writer," were
his enemies. Ho 'had ridiculed their red-tape
practices of mai-administration ; he. had ex
posed their folly, and they hated him.
The Queen and the Cabinet knew not what
to do. ce The Duke," more astute, urged that
NAPIER'S appointment as commander-in-chief
in India should bo made out, with the Queen's
signature, and straightway despatched to NA
VISE. Ono of the Duke's auies-decamp took
the missive to the very small house in which
the conqueror of Scindo resided. The door
was opened by NAPIER himself, who, taking
the lettor, begged the officer to call again in
an hour, as he had only one sitting-room, in
which, at that moment, Lady NAPIER was
taking her dinner.
Before twenty minutes of the hour had run
their course, NAPIER was closeted with Wet.-
metros at the Horse-Guards. He repeated
his objections to returning to India, and finally'
expressed his conviction that Lord ILicuousix,
.tbo Governor General, was hostile to him, and
would throw every obstacle in his way. uWe
shall expressly warn him to the contrary,"
said the Duke. Still hesitating, he was con
quered at last by the Duke emphatically de
claring, u Well, NAPIER, if you don't go I
must." He yielded. "When can you de
part 7" asked the Duke. if This afternoon,"
was the reply. "There will not be time to
provide your kit," Bald the Duke. "A spare
shirt, a blanket, a piece of soap, and a tooth
brush aro the neeessarios required by a soldier
going into action," answered NAPIER. -
That evening he had audience of leave with
the Queen. The next day he started with the
overland mail, and was at Bombay ,in forty
three days. There be learned that the war
had been successfully brought to a close by
Goion and' HAIIDINGE. Passing on to Cal
cutta, he was coldly—almost hostilely—re
ceived by Lord Walton:lc, who told him,
with an oath, that ho had been warned of his
(Nsson's) intention of encroaching upon
his power, but would take care he should not.
Despite this hostility, NArtEn retained his
command two years, chiefly to carry out
further reforms in- the army. He returned
to England in 1851, as popular as ever. In
November, 1882, be made his last appear
ance in public—it was at that great and solemn
pageant, the funeral of WELLINGTON. Nine
months later (29th August, 18530 his own
death took place, at the age of 71.
As a soldier, as a sailor, as a practical re
former, even as a writer and a speaker, this
Sir CHARLES NAPIER deserves to be well re
membered. In valor, in enterprise he was
a heroic soldier; in wiedom and policy be
was an astute and liberal statesman; in the
performance of his duty ho was a patriot.
There aro tow such men any whore.
It is asserted that there is not a county in
tho Union that produces from her own soil more
wealth than Washington county, Pa. In ordinary
years it sena $250,000 of wool, $300,000 wheat and
flour, '5500,000 coal, $250,000 cattle, sheep, and
hogs, making a total of $1,400,000.

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
THE YOUNG HEWS cnnisriAN ASSOCIA.
TION.
By the religions part of the community it
will hardly be" gainsaid that, among the
most efficient, - organizations for good in
modern times, the Young lien's Christian
Association, or rather the fraternity ot asso
ciations into which they have grown, holds no
secondary position. Whether we regard these
organizations in the light of the original
object upon which they are founded, the un
swerving fidelity with which that object has
been pursued, or the slgnaltriumphs that have
marked their efforlff at every step, we shall
fintre model 'worthy of the admiration and
respect of all who are interested in the dis
semination of Gospel principles.
It requires n< philosophic eye to perceive
that the most p , ..tent secret of their success in
every undertaleng lies in the fact that, as a
society, they kn fiv no sects or denominational
differences among themselves whatever, but
seek, on the broad platform of Christian bro
therhood, to labor for a common object. Of
the many bold efforts put forth by the associa
tion in this city.; in fields heretofore considered
impregnable religious impression, their
present work a4;ong the firemen is in many re
spects retearkt* By referring to our adver
tising columns to-day, and usually on Saturday
of each weelle reader will find a complete
directory,::shpv_ilng exactly where and when
the variotm meetings among the firemen are
held. ByttioseAtho are actively interested in
thiegreatp4,,,:opary week, this directory, cut
out of liftriSailefi , .4:ll„bf. , forfeit very conve
nient as aleference.
On the fourth page , of this number of The
Press will be found an account of the closing
meeting held in the Tent at Fourth and
George streets, prior to its removal. Those
proceedings strike us as more interesting than
anything yet published concerning the Tent
movement. This is another enterprise due to
the energy and liberality of the Young Men's
Christian Association. Of the several
daily prayer meetings—now twelve in num
ber—which have boon mainly commenced
through the same agency, we have already
spoken at different times ; the only change
we have now to notice with regard to the list
is, that the sunrise meeting heretofore held at
the Tent, In Kensington, will after today bo
held at the lot on the corner of Girard avenue
and Broad street. Tho great noonday meet
ing at Jayne's Hall, for business men, is still
well sustained. On entering the hall yester
day we were surprised to find so large a con
gregation. There must have been at least a
thousand persons present, which, considering
that many who usually attend are now absent
from the city, is certainly a very large attend
ance.
CAST I'OER BREAD UPON THE WATERS."—
Some months ago Mr. W. J. Everett, con
nected with the Sabbath-school of the Sansom
street Church, in this city, sent a copy of a
volume of Spurgeon's Sermons, lately pub
lished, to his former teacher, Mrs. Wiberg,
wife of a Baptist missionary at Stockholm.
Upon receiving the hook, Mr. Wiberg trans
lated a number of these sermons into the
Swedish, the native language of those among
whom ho was laboring, and published them in
his own periodical called The Evangelist.
Ono man recently died in the north of Sweden
rejoicing in hope, with his dying acknowledg
ment that it was in reading Spurgeon's sermon,
entitled it The Love of Jesus to Sinners,"
that his mind had been awakened to the ne
cessity of repentance in order to be saved,
and many other conversions aro said to be"
equally traceable to this simple eilbrt of a
Philadelphia Sabbath-school pupil. The sim
plicity of this missionary offering is strikingly
suggestive. For the above facts we aro par
tially indebted to published correspondence,
and partially to a statement which we have
from the lips of the Rev. Mr. Malcom, of this
city.
SABBATH SCHOOL EXOURSION9.—This is the
season for pie-vies, excursions; and such
other rustication as the heat of the weather
dictates and opportunities afford. Tho ens
•tom of Sabbath-school excursions is especially
commendable, as through them hundreds of
children are afforded the delights of a day in
the country, who aro in many cases so situated
as to be deprived of this luxury, were it not
for the gratuitous (to those who aro unable to
pay) opportunity thus afforded at the return
of this annual holiday. On Thursday, of
this week, the .school connected with the
Tabernacle Church made on excursion to a
beautiful grove near Torrisdale, for which
they chartered a commodious steamboat for
their private purpose. By those who had the
pleasure of participating, the event is spoken
of as having been extremely pleasant In every
particular.
REMARKABLE WORK OF GRADE.—From a
Missouri paper we learn that In the town of
Troy, in that State—a place long noted for its
abounding wickedness, such as drunkenness,
gambling, fighting, and Sabbath-breaking--
the effects of a protracted meeting, com
menced in a feeble way under the auspices of
the Presbyterian Church, on the first Sabbath
in May, have been of a most extraordinary
character for good. No less than soventyper
sons are said to have been hopefully COB
wilted; those who were formerly scoffers of
religion, heads of families, children, and
slaves being found kneeling together at the
same altar.
LAUDABLE.—It is a lamentable fact that
public moneys, in passing through the bands of
disinterested public servants, aro too liable to
find the process ono of destructive depletion.
The following, upon the authority of an emi
nent divine, furnishes a praiseworthy excep
tion to this licensed pilfering: Dr. Durbin
eate the whole mango (of Scareterich Re.
ports, and all other agencies,) incurred by the
Methodist llibisionary Society, in collecting
and disbursing $271,000 last year, was not
ss,ooo—less than two per cent. on the grore
amount! ,
TILE LATEST.—A new prayer-meeting hits'
just been established at the Globe Hotel, New
York, at the corner of William and Frankfort
streets, by the mission of the North Dutch
Church, at the solicitation of the landlady.
She has fitted up the room—formerly the bar
and restaurant department—in a suitable man
ner as a 'chapel for religious. services. She
has refused a rent of $BOO a year for this
room, for liquor selling, preferring to defiote it
to its present purposes: The attendance at
these meetings is said to be large, and the ex
ercises interesting.
INTERESTING ANNIVERSARY.—YOSICTday,
the 23d instant, being the twenty-fifth anni
versary of the connection of Rev. Dr. N.
Murray with the First .Presbyterian Church
of Elizabeth, was properly observed by the
pastor and his people as an interesting epoch
in their history. A sermon, detailing briefly
the leading points in the history of that
church for the past quarter of a century; wad

FROM ILLINOIS.
(Correspondence of Tye Yresi.)
SPRINGPIHLT!, July 100858,
I have delayed writing until this time. in order
that when I did so I would give you some reliable
information regarding the political aspect of affairs
in this
,State,'and the prospeots'of the success of
Senator Douglas and our party in November next.
Since I have been hero, I have traversed the
northern counties, the Republican stronghold,
mixed with the people. and have hoard their opi
nion's freely given, upon the , respeotive merits of
the two candidates for United States Senator. The
leaders of the Republican party, who, when they
nominated Mr. ;ducein a month, or two ago, '
thought that theta 'would be no difficulty in car
rying the State, securing the Legislature - and
electing him to the Senate, have, 'since the
return of Senator Doughy; and his enthusiastic,
reception at Chicago.. and other points .he
has visited, changed their • minds, • and • they
now acknowledge that, it is a desperate .fight, and
that the odds aro against them. They bavi lost
their confidence ; they kpow that they are doomed.
The alliance which they formed With the Admi
nistration party has affected them terribly. Those
Republicans who were formerly Democrats,- but
left our organisation in 1854 and 1856, have not
regarded with eatisfaction _the , motion of, their
leaders in uniting with the Lecomptonites ' whose
principles aro so at variance with those of their
own party,. merely for the purpose of defeat
ing a man who has faithfully discharged his

Senator Douglas and a majority of the Demooratic
party have fought the principle of the Kansas-
Nebraska bill to, its logical conclusion, and se
cured for the people of Kansas the right to deter
mine their . . own institutions they have lost much
of this pr ejudice; and the action of the Republican
leaders in combining with Federal office-holders,
and thus making their party an instrument in the,
bands of the latter to gratify spite and a spirit of
revenge against Senator Douglas, has determined
these free-soil Democrats to give hiin their Support , .
As you aro aware, the Republican party is com
posed in a great degree of this class of man, and
the withdrawal of so large a number of them from
Its ranks, composed of the, most influential and
respectable men, will weaken it very much The
Lboompton wing of the Opposition army has also
its disaffeetions and desertions. When the Federal
office-holders succeeded in getting up a Convention
opposed to the regular Democratic Convention and
nominating their own candidates, those Democrats
who gave them their countenance and support did
so either because they thought Senator Douglas
had forsaken the party and lost its confidence or
because they held office and were compelled to.
Now they find that they have boon betrayed
into the 'bands of their enemies by Leib, Cook,
Carpenter, and other Administration petit'.
elate here, and that they have lost the esteem
and confidence of even their personal friends by .
such an association. The candidates on the Ad-
mintstration ticket have both declared publicly
that they will support Lincoln in preference to
Douglas, and this fact as soon as it became known,
and that Leib Cook, Carpenter and other Federal
office-holders lied also made the same declaration,
completely broke up and scattered their fastim,
their poor dupes making , for Wbrrfam as
posalhie— and .trying by their anther as tir d
-rotten to Doughy' to -repair-. the - .mlsohis
they had aided in &lei Theilieeeleptanilt
have not a corporal's guardian, and theßepubliN
cane In continuing to patronize them are daily lo
sing their own strength. ,
And now, you will ask what is Douglas doing.
Ile is making a glorious fight: lie has the popular
heart, and his progress from one point to another is
marked by the most enthusiastic demonstrations of
admiration, love, and respect along the route. I
will not 000upy your space in giving you any de
tailed account of these receptions. You have al
ready bad a description of his welcome at Chicago,
which was one of the greatest I ever behold; and to
give you en idea of the popular feeling in this part
of the State, I need only toll you that he was es
corted into Springfield on Saturday last in a train
consisting of eighteen passenger cars, handsomely
decorated, with five platform oars mounting five
cannon, and that in his escort were - five or six
military oompanies, sours of Which accompanied
him over sixty miles. . .
About 20,000 people were awaiting him in
Springfield, whom he addressed over two hours.
notwithstanding that, on Friday night, he had
made a speech at Bloomington occupying two
hours and a half, and that ho had addressed tho
people at Atlanta and Lincoln, at each of which
places he was mot with the firing of a salute and
glorious welcome, on Saturday morning, on has
way down.
This town is thejleadquartors of the Demo
cratic State Centralitfillmmitteo, and since Senator
Douglas has been here they have conferred with
prominent Democrats from all parts of the State,
who have been in attendance, and his appointments
have been determined upon. Ho will commence
the campaign on the 27th of July, at' Clinton,
in the northern part of the State, and will make
between fifty and ono hundred speeches between
that time and the election. The party is coin.
plotoly organised, and the loaders from the ye
rions sections of the State are confident that they
will make a more favorable report of themselves at
the election in November than they have ever given
heretofore. You cannot imagine the enthusiasm
which exists in the party, or the exertions that
even its humblest members are making to insure
a glorious triumph. "The prairies," as a gen
tleman remarked on the oars the other day, ' aro
on fire; the people aro beside themselves."
Senator Douglas, wherever ho speaks, carries
conviction to the minds of his audience by the
fair, candid, and forcible manner in whioh he die
cusses the questions of the day and the points at
issue between himself and Mr. Lincoln. He has
placed the latter on the defensive, and will keep
him there until the olose of the contest. Lincoln
is no match for Douglas, and so acknowledged in
a speech on Saturday night, wherein ho lamented
the difference in their relative positions ; but he
was the most popular and most able man tho Re
publicans could take up. In accepting his nomi
nation at their hands, and deolqing his wind
pies, ho took bolder Abolition grounds than that
party ever occupied; and since it has been exposed
hie friends have been trying to get him off, but In
vain, for . each time he attempts to squirm out of
them he only sinks deeper in the mire.
Every circumstance favors an overwhelming
triumph for the Democracy and Senator Douglas.
The battle is regarded as already fought and won,
but every man is in line and working nobly In the
cause.
